WaterSafe Bacteria Test: Spas & Pools

This simple on-site procedure requires no instrumentation or user training, and has all the accuracy and reliability of a lab test in a disposable test strip. Now there's a reliable and inexpensive way to check to see if your spa or pool is properly sanitized.

High bather loads demand frequent testing...The higher the bather load, the faster pool and spa disinfectant levels dissipate and become ineffective. High bather load also contributes to a higher than normal likelihood of someone introducing potentially dangerous bacteria into the water. With more people in the water and sanitizer dissipating at a high rate, vulnerability to bacterial contamination is high. This is especially true if bathers urinate in the water (as even the best-behaved children often do!)

Test your spa...Heated hot tubs are the ideal location for bacteria to thrive and spread, even faster than in a pool. In a spa's limited water volume, even a small amount of bacteria can produce a large outbreak.

Help keep your family and friends healthy by adding this easy test to your regular spa or pool maintenance routine. The Watersafe Bacteria Test is an antibody-based rapid test kit that detects the presence of E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, species of Shigella, Enterobacter, and many other coliform and non-coliform bacteria.

Product notes: A single Watersafe Bacteria Test retails elsewhere for about $4 (if you can even find it). No chemicals to add or measure.
